Question:
He asks: Is this considered religious knowledge, namely acquiring knowledge through the internet, audio tapes, and other means?
Answer:
Knowledge is acquired, my brother, from scholars by sitting in their circles, or from scholars in institutions of learning, such as institutes, schools, and colleges. Knowledge is not acquired from books or audio tapes; rather, one benefits from books and audio tapes only after presenting them to the people of knowledge. This is because these tapes or books may contain some falsehood, some religious innovation, or some ignorance.
